Its fairly small cut from shaving but it got the top layer of skin. It has been bleeding for an almost an hour. We applied direct pressure and ice... and it slowed but its not completely stopped. Any ...

i have had it since friday and i have been using drops from my doctor .. one moment it looks better and the next it doesnt and now it seems to be spreading to my left eye too... any ideas for a cure?...

You cut your whole leg off and your on the computer?!!! Get to hospital.

LOL R U serouis, you you cut off your leg yet you had time to go on your computer.

But if you are serouis call 911, while you wait get a new towel and freeze the amputated leg, this will help preserve it then there may be a chance that they can sow it back on.

If you can't get the bleeding to stop you should get to an emergency room. First aid is to raise the wound above the level of your heart, which can be tricky unless you are lying down. Apply a tourniquet above the wound. Release the tournniquet momentarily every fifteen minutes.

Call the police? What is this a riddle? Your blood loss should render you unconcious by now.... Should you happen to be alive, apply pressure to it... tenderly wrapping a towel around it is gonna give you those exact results...
But hey, thanks for the 2 pts, hope everything works out for ya...

EDIT: I'm not saying wrapping a towel is suffient pressure, I'm saying her wrapping it around her leg is gonna give her the results she got.... anyways it's all fake.

i agree with aarons girl. you really will look silly with one leg longer than the other.

With an injury like this, you're at risk for being permenantly paralized from the neck up...

cut off your other leg so you dont look stupid. then you can be like lt. dan! (from forrest gump if you dont know.)

If I cut my leg off I hardly think I'd be on the computer asking strangers what to do. Obviously you would be at the hospital if it were true. Why do people ask phony questions?

GET A NEW TOWEL!!!!

Go to the hospital. Call 911.

first of all your a young girl so what are you doing near a power saw, and why are you in the computer if your leg got cut off. and why out of all websites like web md do you come here.

I find it a little hard to believe you cut your leg off and stopped to ask about it on Yahoo! But, just in case, first have someone call 911 NOW! You are in real danger of bleeding to death. In order to prevent this, you are going to have to put a tourniquet on your leg. Direct pressure with a towel is insufficient for a severed limb because of severed arteries. Give nothing by mouth until paramedics arrive.
